That only proves the point.
There will always be workarounds for Bitcoin spam, like any other type of spam. That doesn’t mean we should give up on fighting spam.
Also, Ordinals themselves aren’t the most malicious type of spam that BIP-110 seeks to throttle.

Bitcoin Knots filters are up and running which actually should be the default to all Bitcoin nodes (except on the spammers ones).
Agreed, persistence is key, just like how our ancestors persevered on animal-based diets.
1. We did not give up on fighting spam. We already have the only viable mechanism in place: small block size + fee market.
2. What point does it prove? The bip isn't even live and there is already a workaround. Only think it proves is that consensus changes is ineffective way of fighting spam.
3. What is most malicious type of smap then? Ordinals bloat utxo set. What is more malicious?
4. There is no "we" in this fight. Bitcoin is decentralized. No single group should be able to control it. Spam is subjective. No single group should be able to decide what spam is and then push consensus change to block it.
